Ok I found the solution. You don't have to use a shell_command since templating is not working (properly) but use a binary_sensor command line. So in your binary_sensors.yaml

########## radmon.org ########
- platform: command_line
  name: radmon_send_data
  command: 'curl -s "http://radmon.org/radmon.php?function=submit&user=xxxxx&password=yyyyy&unit=CPM&value={{(states.sensor.your_CPM_entity.state|int)}}"'
  payload_on: 'OK<br>'
  scan_interval: 60

HA is going to change how to define a command_line binary sensor. Now in your configuration.yaml

command_line: 
   - binary_sensor:
       name: radmon_send_data
       command: 'curl -s "http://radmon.org/radmon.php?function=submit&user=xxxxxx&password=yyyyy&unit=CPM&value={{(states.sensor.yourCPMsensor.state)}}"'
       payload_on: 'OK<br>'
       scan_interval: 60

Hi,

I just integrated my ESPhome Geiger counter with radmon.org. There is RESTful Sensor that can be used for that which is somewhat more secure than using command. For me it is just easier to read in config. Put something like this into the configuration.yaml or any package file:

sensor: 
   - platform: rest
     unique_id: "798adf5b-bfd9-4bd6-a09d-e5c1f8fff518"
     name: "radmon"
     scan_interval: 60
     resource: http://radmon.org/radmon.php
     params:
       function: 'submit'
       user: 'xxxxxxxx'
       password: 'XXXXXXXX'
       unit: 'CPM'
       value : "{{ states('sensor.geiger_counts_per_minute')|int(0) }}"

I tried a pure ESPhome solution.... (via http_request.get) but I find this solution not super stable (the ESP32 rebooting every 15min)

This will run in ESP locally? I tried http_request but the ESP reboots every time it tried it. I was able to http_request.send POST to GMCmap and it works fine. What should I use as an unique identifier?
EDIT: Got the http_request working
